Canvas taking up large GPU usage on macOS

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a canvas
  2. Launch macOS’s Activity Monitor.app
  3. Pan around the canvas
  4. Observe the GPU usage

Expected result

Good graphics performance in canvas to allow 120 frames per second on a MacBook Pro

Actual result

The animation seems to be frame-dropping, it became worse in v1.1.15 compared to 1.1.9, and the GPU is at 100% when I move around in canvas

Environment

  • Operating system: MacBook Pro 14’

I am not sure I consider this a bug. You can open a feature request about improving the performance. Attach also your computer spec and and a canvas where this happens.
